The San Jose Sharks shipped out forward T.J. Galiardi, two days after acquiring forward Tyler Kennedy.

The Calgary Flames gave up a fourth-round 2015 draft pick to land Galiardi, a Calgary native who had played for the Calgary Hitmen junior hockey team.

"Wow! My lifelong dream has come true!!" Galiardi tweeted.

The Flames signed the 6-2, 190 restricted free agent to a one-year, $1.25 million contract, up from $950,000 last season.

"We are thrilled to add a young player with TJ's size and versatility to our lineup," said Flames general manager Jay Feaster. "He can play left wing or center, he competes hard, is a very good energy player, and he is only 25 years old."

Galiardi had played the last one-plus seasons with the Sharks after being acquired from the Colorado Avalanche in a trade last season.
